Just got caught up and watched the season finale yesterday. Holy shit.

The evolution of this show has been incredible. The writers have been very bold through the entire series. At first I didn't think it was going to make it as a series. But I think it has some staying power. Definitely a lot of possibilities for the second season.

Does Crixus and Sparticus survive? what famous figures did they defeat ? Where did they defeat them? In a whole did the slaves escape alive once it was said and done?

Spartcus had his own army and Crixus had an army mainly because they couldn't lead 70K out of Italy at the same time for logistically reasons. Crixus's army got wiped out at one battle and they rejoined lup with Spartucus later. At one time they had 70,000 soldiers and had fought to the edge of the Roman empire. Their goal was to go back home, for most Gaul and the Balkans. But for some reason lost to history instead of crossing over and going home Spartcus turns south and many battles and struggles ensue.

According to history, Spartcus was killed in the last battle in Italy but his body was never recovered. There were 35K on spartcus side in the final battle. 6K survived and they were all cruicifed and left in rows to rot and warn others along a main road of travel.

History treats Spartcus as an intelligent and great commander but it was his misteps when he turned back south that really did him in more than the Roman general Crassus.

Since the actor playing Spartacus, Andy Whitfield has Lymphoma Season 2 has been delayed. It's not cancelled at this point, but I'm not holding my breath. At least Season 1 had a good ending if all else fails.

Legitimately watched 3 episodes but ultimately found it too insulting to watch. Seriously, the nudity shots were flat out clues the editor/director/writer knew they had weak shit so they threw it in there. Any time it got slow, boobs. Any time the action wasn't cutting it, boobs.
